moved the system down to 35 online at any one time so it stays up... see how that goes
removed the front index page as it was creating a heap of extra cpu usage
Ordered the new server, it will land next tuesday or wednesday...
the wheels are in motion....
Good to here...
system is running on a temp VPS server....
hopefully it is stable!
I have just upgraded the system to the latest version of the software.
no doubt this has broken something that i havent managed to find yet.
if you spot a problem please PM me.
i know the links function on the navbar doesnt work.
most things appear fine, there are a lot of new features i have yet to come to terms with.
test 2
new server is here, just set it up for burn in testing before i start installing bsd.
as most have noticed, there have been ocassional upheavels in the past that have required action by the admins and or mods to quell.
this latest incarnation of the software used by AULRO allows this to be somewhat automated and much easier to enforce or apply and manage.
so you all know how it works i have laid out the following simple guide.
i will add more to it as time allows. it will be added to the FAQ area when i get time as well.
it works like this....
The AULRO Infraction System Explained
Unacceptable behaviour will be rewarded with demerit points.
Certain behavours attract more points than others as listed below
Inappropriate Language results in 1 demerit point
Excessive Unruly Behaviour results in 2 demerit points
Inapproriate Commercial Post(s) results in 2 demerit points
Personal Attack(s) on Other Member(s) results in 3 demerit points
Sexual Harrasment or serious attack(s) results in 5 demerit points
Should you reach 5 demerit points in any 12 month period you will be banned for 7 days
Should you reach 10 demerit points in any 12 month period you will be banned for 1 month
Should you reach 20 demerit points in any 12 month period you will be permanently banned
Admins and Moderators have the power to award demerit points.
There are buttons available in each thread to report any behaviour you consider inappropriate "considering the conditions of access". The reports are passed on to Moderators and Admins.
Please consider the conditions of access before reporting another user.
it is not something to be played with, inappropriate use of the reporting system will earn you points as well if it seems to be excessive.
should you have any suggestions on how i may improve or make this system more effective please PM me.
Re item 1. the inappropriate language clause
to clarify what i mean it to mean, so to speak....
i meant it to mean more than "words" thats why i used "language". not so much meant as general swearing but more aimed at abusive or derogitory or belittleing phrasing etc.. that is boderline on personality attacks or demeaning in other ways, suggestive or racist etc etc. stuff that is too pointed to be passed off jokingly.
it would also be used for really excessive swearing i suppose if it was really over the top, but that hasnt been much of a problem to now, whereas there has been some sniping, bordering on racist or harassing remarks that have been attended to quietly in the past.
hope it makes sense to you.
